Imus: "I was – I tried to imagine how various members of the current administration would behave were they subjected to the gallows as Saddam Hussein was. Um, and I can see Rumsfeld –" Barnicle: “He wouldn't take it. No blindfold for Rumsfeld.” Imus: "That's what I was thinking, you know. ‘F-you.' You know, you go to the gallows with the noose you want, not the noose you– or the noose you have, not the noose you want–" Barnicle: "That's exactly right." Imus: "Or Whatever. But Cheney–" Barnicle: "Just as that trap door opens, he'd drop an f-bomb to all of them." Imus: "How about Cheney?" Barnicle: “I don't think Cheney would make it up the steps.” Imus: "Now this is a guy who would, this is a guy – he'd wet his pants and he'd whine and start crying." Barnicle: "Well He would order as a last meal 400 pounds of bacon." Imus: "Yeah, ‘cause this is a guy got six deferments just to get out of Vietnam because he had, what was that phrase he used – he had some other more important issues to deal with. One of ’em, the last one, was getting his wife pregnant just to keep from having to deal with this." Barnicle: "Oh God." Imus: "Uh, who else? Wolfowitz, he'd cry." Barnicle: "Oh yeah, he'd be shot in the back running away." Imus: "Yeah, exactly. Yeah, or some of the other key players." Barnicle: "Richard Perle." Imus: "Oh, he'd, oh God, he'd, he would soil himself. So–" Barnicle: "Can't you see him being dragged up by his cap?" Imus: "Oh yeah." Barnicle: "Clinging, splinters in his fingernails." Imus: “A combover of his hanging all down the side of his head.” In one of the oddest transitions Imus then asks: "Everybody well in your family, your kids, wife, all that? Barnicle replies: “You know, thank God, everybody is, and I hope everybody is in your household and everyone else's household, because the health of your family, everything else pales in comparison to that. So you get up in the morning and draw a breath, Don, you're ahead on the day.” Such wonderful family values, these guys. UPDATE 01-04: An unchastened Imus was back at it this morning. With MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford as guest, Imus again indulged his fantasies of Republicans on the gallows. Crawford got into the spirt of the discussion. When Imus alluded to some of the officials being shot as they ran away, Crawford chimed in: "at least we know Cheney would shoot back."
Poster Comment: Mark Finkelstein's blog "exposing the liberal media" has this material on it to try to damage or discredit Imus and others for speaking out loud what people across the political spectrum feel about these criminally insane bastards we have running this administration. He misses the point that people are frustrated, frightened and angered by this insane bunch of thugs and that joking about it is a human mechanism that helps people cope with horrible situations. He also misses the point that Bush and Cheney are toast except for the horrible upcoming train wreck of going through the motions of making things far worse trying to make them better. Which is what hurting them on a larger scale by sending more troops into an illegal and immoral war that has victimized Iraq worse then it was under Saddam and has made America the country to loathe the deepest in the most angry fashionable possible worldwide is going to be. Markie the Fink may not like it, but long after the Smirk and Snarl show has left the stage, "get the rope" will always be the first thought on my mind then confronted with memories about them. And as a strong opponent of capital punishment, I refuse to be slammed because of my frustrations by thought police like buzzards like this blogger, or the dogs he tries to set onto Don Imus and others over perfectly normal reactions to the antics of insane people being in the sort of jobs they are ill suited for.

Here, amuse yourself in this thread Ponche. ;-D
This motif keeps popping up - the rope, the rope. When it reaches the level of the cable news, you know that there is anger, outrage just seething below the surface. That is fed by the non-results of the election of the 110th Congress who have materialized in the Capitol with "100 hours" of the usual claptrap. With four carriers within reach of the Gulf, we are reaching the critical juncture of all critical junctures with Mr. Blackwater installed in the recesses of the State Department pulling on the wires of all sorts of dark factions. God willing that Ahminejad would throw in the towel and relent. What's coming is not worth the candle. But I know he won't, and our own armagedonists are feverishly at work on their own project and won't be deflected either while the Congress lies supine to the Executive and is stretched out prone in worship of the same lame domestic demagogery we've been hearing for the last forty years. We want rope! More rope!
THERE'S NOT ONE DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT WE WILL FAIL - GW Bush
Interesting to see so much glaring anti-Bush rhetoric, domestically. Hopefully a sign of things to come.
